syncthing and syncthing-gtk are two separate packages, the latter requiring the former. Depending on how you installed them and if you configured pamac to remove unused dependencies, the former may not be removed with the latter.

I see…
So syncthing is command line tool, which syncthing-gtk is gui wrapper for the cli syncthing ?

When it removed syncthing-gtk with pamac, i was just removing the “skin” of the syncthing , so to speak.
